We're at a loss on this one

Vonchae Richardson is a 5-foot-11 backcourter out of Washington, someone whose name was unknown to us prior to today. He's at perennial power Franklin High but played earlier at Mount Rainier. At the Maxpreps site, it looks like he averaged 10.3 points and 2.7 assists per game last season.

*** Coincidentally, his squad beat Columbia River for the 3A state championship last season -- the latter team featured one-time Nevada recruit Steven Bjornstad.

He was a 3A first team all tournament selection in that 2009 tourney.

Here's a description of Richardson from his high school coach in a December 2008 Seattle Post-Intelligencer article: "...He's a pretty heady point guard, he loves to pass first," [Jason] Kerr said. "He's really good at getting in seams. Defensively, he's a tenacious ball-pressure guy..."

Now maybe we've fallen asleep at the switch here or our memory is failing us (again) but we just came across Richardson as having committed to Idaho in a post at the West Coast Hoops Report. Go to the site, click on Latest News and the article is titled West Coast Class of 2010 Committments (as of October 1, 2010). (registration is required)

This was news to us.

Can anyone help out on this one?
